Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 is shipped with SharePoint Services 2.0 software as part of the server platform. Businesses can create SharePoint sites to share documents, meeting agendas and other information with team members. When each SharePoint site is created, a default calendar is also created for the site. However, you can create new SharePoint calendars for each site, as well.

1. Open the SharePoint site that will contain the new calendar in a Web browser.

2. Click the “View All Site Content” link in the left navigation bar, also known as the “QuickLaunch” bar. The All Site Content page opens.

3. Click the “Create” button. The Create page opens to display several types of pages that can be created.

4. Click the “Calendar” link in the Tracking category. The Create Calendar form opens.

5. Type a name for the new calendar in the Name input box.

6. Type a description for the calendar in the Description input box, if desired.

7. Type an email address for the person who will administer the calendar in the Email input box. Note that the Email field displays only if the platform administrator has added the functionality for users to add events by email. Click the radio button next to the “Yes” option to allow users to submit events to the specified email address.

8. Click the “Create” button. The new calendar is created on the SharePoint site.
